Abstract: A peripheral device station couples two or more peripheral devices with a host computer system. The station includes two or more peripheral device interfaces, a power unit, a communication intermediary, and a host interface. At least one peripheral device interface includes a communication connection and a power connection. The power unit couples with the power connection and provides an electrical charge for charging a power source of a peripheral device. The communication intermediary couples with the communication connection and provides a communication coupling between a peripheral device and the host computer system. The host interface couples with and communicates with the host computer system.
